There was a lamp from CB2 that I wanted for a long time. Y’all know how I can get hung up on light fixtures. It was futuristic yet timeless, brushed brass w/a tripod design that looked vaguely like fused animal tusks worn down by the sands of time. It was in the Spike Jonze film Her, although I liked it before its cinematic debut.
Then I finally was able to inspect it on display in-store. I was affronted by the shoddy quality.
IIRC, it retailed for over $400.

While I’m on the subject, many entertainment consoles are too tall to display a TV at the recommended height for sitting and viewing. A plethora of coffee tables are too tall to comfortably put your feet up. I can’t believe the big box stores are selling $500 entry tables made out of MDF and faux wood veneers. FAUX WOOD VENEERS. The consoles are too damn high. The coffee tables are too damn high. The prices are too damn high. #InteriorDesign #Furniture

@KydiaMusic@mastodon.social do you have a friend who's into woodworking? Because that seems to be the best way to get furniture these days.
